about

This song took 2nd place in the 2003 OVFF Song Writing Contest--I still have my embroidered fob hanging on one of my guitar cases.

lyrics

(Chorus)
I seen a blue moon risin' seen it risin' through my door.
I seen a blue moon risin' seen it risin' through my door.
And I know I'm gonna witness, things I never seen before.

I'll see a foolish man be silent, I'll see a wise man speak.
I'll see a lazy man workin' hard right on through the week.

I seen a blue moon risin' seen it risin' through my door.
I seen a blue moon risin' seen it risin' through my door.
And I know I'm gonna witness, things I never seen before.

I'll see an honest politician and she won't tell me any lies,
She won't hide behind no fancy talk or phony alibis

I seen a blue moon risin' seen it risin' through my door.
I seen a blue moon risin' seen it risin' through my door.
And I know I'm gonna witness, things I never seen before.

Seen a rich man, seen a poor man, seen a beggar man and a thief,
But have you ever seen a man who truly lives by his beliefs?

I seen a blue moon risin' seen it risin' through my door.
I seen a blue moon risin' seen it risin' through my door.
And I know I'm gonna witness, things I never seen before.

I'll see a world that doesn't care about the color of my skin,
If I am tall, if I'm short, if I'm fat or if I'm thin,

I seen a blue moon risin' seen it risin' through my door.
I seen a blue moon risin' seen it risin' through my door.
And I know I'm gonna witness, things I never seen before.

Well you might think we need to see that blue moon risin' every night,
But I know it's down to us to take the wrong and make it right,

I seen a blue moon risin' seen it risin' through my door.
I seen a blue moon risin' seen it risin' through my door.
And I know I'm gonna witness, things I never seen before.

about

Pete Grubbs Brookville, Pennsylvania

I started performing music when I was 6, turned pro at 20ish & spent well over 30 years tracking down as many gigs a month as possible. While those days are behind me, I'm still making calculated noise. My music lives where rock, classical, folk, blues & parody hang out. Oddly enough, one of their favorite haunts appears to be in collections of my songs--you'll find a bit of each on every track. ... more
